For many, optical mice are thought of as "old" mouse technology, and that the new standard in gaming grade mice is laser. This is partially true, as laser mouse technologies are "newer," but SteelSeries recognizes the advantages which optical sensors deliver, namely reliability and stability on a wide range of surfaces. The Kinzu is designed with the on-the-go LAN gamer in mind, and is as versatile as gaming mice come.

Introduction

SteelSeries Kinzu was developed in close cooperation with professional gamers to set new standards for performance in optical mice. The Gaming Grade image correlation sensor has been optimized to improve stability and eliminate jitter. The CPI settings are based upon those used and recommended by professional gamers. This compact ambidextrous mouse operates with 9375 Frames Per Second at movement speeds of 50 Inches Per Second and supports customizable SteelSeries ExactRate polling rate settings in increments of 1 (between 125-1000Hz) with as little as 1 millisecond delay between the mouse and the computer. SteelSeries Kinzu is compact, lightweight, optical and is in a league of its own when it comes to reliability and stability.
